This year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover went to rising stars like gymnasts Jordan Chiles and Livvy Dunne and model Lauren Chan, but the most surprising addition was Salma Hayek.
The Mexican-born actress was photographed in her home country by Ruven Afanador. Set at the Cuixmala luxury resort, Hayek explains how much gracing the cover of SI Swimsuit always meant to her, but she never expected to receive the honor just shy of 60 years old.
'I remember when I was young, a long, long time ago, I was always excited to see the Swimsuit Issue of Sports Illustrated , and [thinking] 'Who's going to be in it?' Of course, I didn't look like a model, so it never crossed my mind that one day I would be in it,' Hayek Pinault said. 'If somebody had told me I was gonna be in it at 58, I would have sent them to the madhouse, but the world has changed, and that's exciting.'

Starting in the 1990s, she made her name for herself in the States with roles like Desperado and From Dusk till Dawn , she's since turned into a successful producer and women's rights advocate. She's also married to François-Henri Pinault, the son of billionaire François Pinault, who founded Kering, which owns luxury brands like Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci, and Balenciaga.
But still, that sex symbol label is just as present as it was 20 years ago when she flooded People 's '50 Most Beautiful People' list, Maxim 's Hot 100, and FHM 's 100 Sexiest Women in the World list.
Now, with showing off her body in the SI Swimsuit edition, she's embracing it all and letting other ladies her age know life doesn't end once you turn 50.
'I feel so fortunate that I am part of a generation that has been able to really experience very tangible change,' she said. 'I could retire, but I don't want to miss out on this time. I fought for it, you know, and I've been part of it, and I think it's really remarkable that a magazine like Sports Illustrated [ Swimsuit ] says that it's O.K., maybe even cool, to be past 50 and still be able to feel not just sexy, but for me, to be free and not be self-conscious of your body like you have to hide.'
She proves it in a series of shots of her lying on the sandy beaches of Mexico, under a water fountain, posing from behind, and topless in a pool.

Former Exeter flanker Ewers retires aged 34
Dave Ewers is regarded as one of the key players during Exeter's trophy-winning years [Getty Images] Former Exeter flanker Dave Ewers has retired from rugby union. The 34-year-old came up through Exeter's academy ranks and was a key part of the side that reached six consecutive Premiership finals and won the 2020 European Champions Cup. Advertisement Injury kept him out of Exeter's 2017 Premiership final win over Wasps, but he started in their 2020 final victory against the same opponents having also started the Champions Cup final the week before. Ewers was called up to the England squad in February 2016, but a series of injuries meant he never went on to win an England cap. He made 226 Exeter appearances and scored 40 tries before joining Ulster in the summer of 2023. One Dave Ewers' greatest moments came when he helped Exeter win the European Champions Cup in 2020 [Rex Features] The Zimbabwe-born forward has spent the past season playing for Cape Town-based side Stormers in the United Rugby Championship where he played nine times. "Thank you to Rob (Baxter, Exeter director of rugby) and everyone involved at Exeter for giving me the opportunity all those years ago, was a special journey going from the Championship to winning the double in 2020," Ewers said on social media as he announced his retirement. Advertisement "To all the boys, thank you for all the memories, I feel nothing but blessed to have experienced everything along the way with you all, on and off the pitch. "We shared some incredible memories that I will never forget. "A special mention to all the backroom staff of everywhere I've been, and especially Exeter where I had all my injuries. Thank you for getting me back on the pitch. "To all the fans, near and far, thank you for all the support over the years, it's meant a lot to me."

Concerns at Napa's La Onda festival after musicians' visas revoked
The Brief The popular regional Mexican band Grupo Firme announced they had to cancel Sunday night's performance after the U.S. government suspended the musicians' visas. The State Department has revoked visas of several Mexican artists over music it says glorifies cartel violence. Festival goers say they're upset, with some calling the move political, while organizers say they're disappointed by the development. NAPA, Calif. - There are concerns over federal immigration policy at a Napa music festival this weekend. A couple of the bands, including a very popular group from Mexico, were forced to pull out of La Onda over problems with their visas. "This is what we come here for right here," said Alfonzo Robles of Santa Rosa. "It's just the music, the ambiance," said Maria Rangel of Reno, Nevada. Music fans were having a blast at Festival La Onda, which features all sorts of Latin music acts. "We are big fans of Carin Leon," said Rangel. But it's who didn't take the stage that's raising some eyebrows. The regional Mexican band Grupo Firme announced on Instagram they had to cancel Sunday night's performance, after the U.S. government suspended the musicians' visas. The backstory The State Department has revoked the visas of several Mexican artists over music it says glorifies cartel violence – though Grupo Firme has recently taken steps to distance themselves from that lyrical content. What they're saying "I think it's sad," said Guadalupe Torres of Carson City, Nevada. "We're very, very disappointed," said Robles. "We all paid for this. This is what we came here for. And now [Grupo Firme] can't be here because of some political reason," said Robles. The Mexican group La Receta also pulled out of La Onda over reported visa issues as well. "They're not stealing anything, they come here to work," said singer Vilma Diaz of the Colombian group Sonora Tropicana, which did perform at La Onda this weekend. Big picture view "Artists don't know how to navigate the system right now. There's a lot of roadblocks that pop up unexpectedly," said Alex Ashley, a musician and journalist for Rolling Stone. Ashley says he's concerned foreign artists will give up on even trying to come to festivals like this. "When artists cancel or when events get canceled, you've got local economies that miss out. You've got hotel bookings, fewer ticket sales, jobs that get lost," said Ashley. A few people KTVU spoke to at the festival say those same concerns over immigration policy may have kept some concertgoers home as well. Local perspective "I'm pretty sure maybe it did affect some people because people don't want to go out. People don't want to go anywhere, do anything because they're afraid of these persecutions," said Robles. "To all my people, please don't be afraid," said Diaz. Festival goers say all this underscores why gatherings like La Onda are so important. "I think this just gives people the confidence to be out here and just feel that they have a community behind them," said Rangel. In a statement, David Graham, partner with Festival La Onda, said festival organizers understand and share in the disappointment, but added that organizers and performers are still dedicated to putting on an unforgettable show. "We are obviously disappointed that Grupo Firme was not able to play the festival due to visa issues," Graham said. "Our fans have been enjoying over two dozen incredible artists that are performing over the weekend. These are unprecedented and challenging times, and we remain committed to providing a memorable experience for fans of La Onda."

Is Doechii's Oversized Balloon Jacket Summer's Newest Style Trend?
Source: Bryan Bedder / Getty When it comes to commanding the stage, rapper and budding style icon Doechii never misses. However, her May 31 performance at the Samsung Edge in New York didn't just deliver a flawless stage performance but a flawless fit, too. The Florida-born rapper has again gone viral. This time in a statement-making ensemble that blurs the lines between high fashion and hip-hop flair. The fashion girls are talking – and taking notes. The Grammy-winning artist hit the Samsung stage as part of a new partnership with the tech brand. She wore a dramatic balloon-shaped trench coat layered over a crisp white button-down and maroon necktie. Styled by Sam Woolfe, the look was cinched just enough to reveal her tiny waist and mini length to show off her legs. She paired the funky outwear with high beige socks and sharp black stilettos. Adding to her look was makeup and hair for the 'gawds. Her makeup included a silver cut crease, flawless matte skin, and a glossy red lip. Gold hoops and wire-rimmed glasses gave her fit a soft throwback finish, and her signature face tape continues to be that girl. What we love about Doechii's balloon jacket is that it challenges the idea of what summer style is (or should look like). A departure from the typical warm-weather dressing of booty shorts, maxi dresses, and skimpy tops, the 'Anxiety' femcee's fit stood out. Her body was still bodying – and so was her style. Her jacket is also a nod to icons like Andre Leon Talley who always played with proportions by his own rules. Yes, the piece is just that good. If you're thinking about how to tap into the Doechii summer style trend, start with exaggerated outerwear in breathable fabrics. Think unexpected to expected from linen and chambray to seersucker and chiffon. Pair the outerwear with short hemlines or stackable layers that help balance the volume. Source: Bryan Bedder / Getty For those not ready to go bare-legged just yet, layer baggy silhouettes over shorts or bike sets. Add sleek heels or chunky sneakers to stand out and don't be afraid to play with accessories that contrast the drama. Doechii's summer style trend is for the girls who like to put that ish on. Her fashion era continues to evolve —and we're ready for every oversized moment.
